5W have been investigating how the size of a parachute affects the speed at which it falls and thinking about how air resistance plays a part in what they have found. They have been singing Christmas songs enthusiastically and will be looking at how Christmas is celebrated around the world.

Happy Christmas! We made it! This week has still been a busy week completing our 100 word story entries for the Young Writer's 'A Wander in the Woods' competition. We needed to cut out words from our story without losing the gist of the story or description added. In Maths, we recapped time and we were able to complete the Indus Valley topic and clay jewellery in Humanities and Art. Science was fun as we made parachutes to test air resistance. We finally finished reading the book Holes and so also watched the film. As well as this, Christmas continued with the elf up to his usual mischief, films and Christmas 'party' afternoon. Have a well deserved holiday, which I hope is filled with a few delicious treats 🙂

This week 5M have been using the skills they have learned over the last few weeks to write a story set in the woods. The idea is that we will edit the stories to make them just 100 words and some of us may enter the Young Writer's competition ('Through the Woods'). The children have also enjoyed painting their clay beads, using colours that may have been used in the Indus Valley. We enjoyed watching a Christmas film and having our Christmas lunch as well as wondering what the elf will get up to next!

This week year 6 have been learning all the skills in order to write a biography. We will be completing a full biography on Queen Victoria next week as part of our Victorians Topic. During the later parts of this week, we have enjoyed our Christmas jumper day with a Christmas film at lunch time, followed by a pantomime in the afternoon. The children enjoyed getting into the Christmas spirit and finished the week off well. We are looking forward to the last week of term.

 This week, 5W have painted their Indus Valley jewellery. The photos show some of the finished work. In English, the children have been writing 100 word stories, trying to make an entire story fit within 100 words and making decisions about what can be missed out and which words are the most important. In their computing lesson, the children have started to develop their word processing skills.

This week, Year 3 have been starting to learn about India as part of our Asia topic. We have been looking at the physical and human features across 3 different cities and have been comparing them. Ask your child if they can remember which cities we have been looking at! In Maths, we are still looking at Multiplication and Division but have been really focussing on the 8x table. Please keep practising this at home! We are so impressed with how hard the children are working even with the two naughty elves causing some distractions!!
